Taking to X, the 47-year-old artist accused unidentified individuals of stealing and uploading the project, writing, “Somebody got a drive and threw it on YouTube and said this is CUCK.”

What I love about getting blocked on DSPs and having songs leaked and shows cancelled is…
It proves everything I’m saying and why I’m saying

According to AllHipHop, the album leak surfaced first on Discord before spreading to YouTube, where it was later removed. The unauthorised drop reportedly included a full version of CUCK and unheard songs titled Diddy Free and Free My Kids.
Among the tracks circulated was UNCLE, which sparked speculation due to its alleged connection to Kanye’s wife, Bianca Censori.
Addressing the rumours directly, West stated, “UNCLE is not on CUCK and is not about my wife.” The song was said to tell a story of a woman involved in sex work following abuse, but West firmly denied any link to Censori.

In addition to responding to the leak, West continues to tease his upcoming film project WW3, which has been in development for several months.
